Lonely Long Goodbye

The dogwoods started blooming
I've watched the afternoon shadows
Dance on every wall in this house
It's been three Februarys, and nothing really changes
But how the Sun goes up and down
I get through days just fine
But oh, the nights go by

Like a long, slow sigh
I breathe you in and out, this heart of mine
Has every tear been cried?
Is nothing left but time
And watching it go by?
Will I be letting go of you
For the rest of my life?

You might be the one I don't recover from
An ache I carry till I'm gone
'Cause you keep sticking 'round in the the attic of my mind
Dreams of you keep knocking at my door
There's nowhere I can hide
Your memory's close behind

Like a long, slow sigh
I breathe you in and out, this heart of mine
Has every tear been cried?
Is nothing left but time
And watching it go by?
Will I be letting go of you
For the rest of my life?

It's a dull knife
Twisting inside
It's a lonely, long goodbye

It's a long slow sigh
I breathe you in and out, this heart of mine
Has every tear been cried?
Is nothing left but time
And watching it go by?
Will I be letting go of you
For the rest of my life?
